    In this video I talk through my process of using a small ALM 52hp Eurorack Case to expand my percussion options within a setup. It is driven via a Digitakt which feeds into an African rhythm derived trigger module. Everything is then fed into an SP404.
    This is the basis for my attempt at creating and performing live music. In the future I hope to show more developments into this process and eventually film a live set for this channel.

    Weird, I just yesterday ordered that same ALM case! It's seems like it'll be such a nice compact setup, and I can't wait to get some modules into it. Great videos lately mate! Case setup looks fun!

      Thanks Pat! Appreciate it. Yeah I just love the size of case, it feels restrictive but creatively so.

      Yeah! I love this compact case train that’s happening! I’ve been finding mine so fun. Albeit, I don’t have a monster case at all, the small case is the case. Looking forward to see if you share your adventures with that!

      Thanks! It's an Ultrabook that folds in half. Samsung Galaxy Book 3. I think I'll make a little video on it as I've been asked this a few times from these videos.

    everytime i wanted to build a modular drum thing i got stuck on the i/o and sequencing bit. the thing you built has only a master out not an out per track. maybe ive just been overthinking it, it sounds good for sure.

    • @SoundsMick
      @SoundsMick  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      For this combo of gear it works, but also if I want to process one voice differently I can just go straight out of the module itself, or mult it to do parallel processing.

  • @LaymensLament
    @LaymensLament 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    now that the digitakt 2 came out i guess its not a good time to trade but if you dont need the digitakt overdrive / filter you could trade it for like a digitone. same form factor, enough sequencing and you have your melody machine.

    • @SoundsMick
      @SoundsMick  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is probably a good shout! Tho I'm using all 8 midi tracks of the digitakt right now, I can't quite rely on the 404 for sequencing, it's just not as easy as the DT.

    using midi note trains as clock sources is so underrated, honestly - you can really easily do that "dropped note" shifting of patterns that way by just... muting a step, and then things will start to rotate.

    Love seeing your workflow with this and that given a percussion focussed case it’s so different than I’d approach it. I love that about eurorack. Very cool idea sending irregular clocks to Zularic. It definitely invites you to get as funky as you want with it, how it’s set up. Even though it’s essentially a bunch of tables, I’d really like to mess with one at some point. Especially when you’re just looking to be in the middle of music instead of thinking too deeply of the beats. I like your ideal setup being something that can fit in a backpack. Feel like that’s really where those little ALM cases shine. My 4u definitely doesn’t fit in a backpack, 104 is quite sticky outy. Anyway, appreciate your videos and thoughts. I’ll look out for the next one.

    • @SoundsMick
      @SoundsMick  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah sending the zularic irregular clock and cv modulating the offset parameters really open up the module to a high variety of patterns outside of the preset tables!

    nice little setup. Looking forward to your take on the SSF drum modules. I was keeping an eye on them for quite some time, but I was worried that they are more geared for techno/harder sounds. Your groove sounds smooth, though. Well done.

    • @SoundsMick
      @SoundsMick  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks! The SSF modules I think sound great, very complex sounding for analogue drum circuits. Rich sound

      counterpoint; Elektron IS a swedish company, and they would pronounce digital as "diggytorl", more or less.
